<p>Any suggestions/advices on how I should handle my 1st AP World History Exam? For those of you that have taken it already, is it considerably easy? hard? How many multiple choice questions would you have to answer correctly to score a 5?? Any comments on the essays? (altough I think I'm pretty well prepared for the free response section) Does Princeton Review help a lot? are the practice tests on the back accurate?</p>
<p>anything? ..........</p>
<p>Hey this is my first year for AP, and I'm taking world too! I just took an official practice exam as my final, and I did fine even though our class hadn't even gone past 1920. PR's scoring guidelines are more than enough for a 5:
50+ MC
7+ DBQ
6+ CC
6+ COT
PR is generally held as the best review book. Its tests are harder than the real thing.</p>

<p>not necessarily, I generally find PR to be easier than the real test, much easier.</p>
<p>just relax, study Barron's, and you should be fine. I'm not quite proud of this, but I went through the book in the week right before the exam, just a few days, without learning anything in my class, and got a ...4. not too happy, but for one week of cramming, it's decent, I think.</p>

<p>That's the general consensus I got from here and the amazon.com reviews.</p>
